Sabine Puschmann

"remaining visible and invisible in change"
Anyone who reads such titles understands that many different topics are at stake: ancient mythology; the relationship between happiness and unhappiness, reality and appearance, truth and untruth; as well as space and time.
There is an enormous range not only of content but also of forms in Sabine Puschmann’s works.

Sabine Puschmann would probably be considered an abstract artist if she didn't repeatedly incorporate representational elements into her paintings. Her large-scale painted canvases conjure up reminiscences of landscapes from a bird's eye view, a brightly colored, light-flooded field that consistently avoids any spatial illusion. Well-composed color fields thus tell unobtrusive stories, whether on large canvases or smaller works on paper.
Her confident sense of colour, her confident use of line and her play with harmonies in subtle, delicate tones and strong contrasts create poetic images of cheerfulness and playfulness, tenderness and sensitivity, but also of
Thoughtfulness and melancholy arise.

Her pictures exude an almost lyrical ambience. Mythical, symbolic, transgressive and again Pandora and the calm and strength of femininity are the themes; characters, text fragments and scriptural elements reinforce the expressiveness of the pictures. Certain motifs, themes, allusions and symbols appear again and again in more or less clear variations. Viewed from a distance, the surfaces, shapes and lines appear as a whole.

If you get closer to the picture, you can see subtle, fine structures.

The viewer is literally drawn into some sections of the image. Hidden things appear, hinted at, shadowy. The primary interpretation is broken and a new dimension opens up. Messages on tiptoe.
